Drago, if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it.
For us (me), the day would have to be 40 hours long, with two inns built in between.
The mentioned tour really exceeds the limits of the possible.

I browsed the net a bit and found besides the above-mentioned Erceg's one-day winter traverse only Tadej Golob who did the grand tour thirteen years before him.

It was a real pleasure, Boštjan. Yeah, the rope would need to be at least 100m for you to slow you down a bit.nasmeh

On Saturday (8.8.) traverse from Krnica to Briceljka. I expected not to meet anyone, but a young lady caught up with me to the top, with whom we then continued on the ridge together. Ridge nice, views wonderful, weather fantastic. The plan was the whole ridge, but it "went wrong" at the top, where we met three hikers with whom we chatted cheerfully. Then a ride to the valley was offered, which I couldn't resist.velik nasmeh

Almost a year after traversing the Bavški Pihavci ridge, I park in Bavšica again. I shoulder the heavy backpack and start just before six. A little above the Logje hamlet, where the path crosses the rocky slide, I turn left uphill. I am looking for a path I don't know if it still exists. Several times I catch it but it soon disappears again. So I continue on my own towards the Slapce area. Below the walls I turn left and cross overgrown slopes. Walking on slippery grass is quite strenuous. When the world opens up uphill, I head uphill again. I climb to the lower edge of Velika Rupa. There I spot a passable gully, up which I ascend to the Kobila ridge. It leads me to Vrh Krnice, where at nine I am already enjoying the views. After a break, I gear up for continuing. The first part of the traverse to Briceljka is absolute pleasure, wonderful "airy" ridge walking. Below the Oblice summit, a rope surprises me that wasn't there on my first visit. But there is no prusik where it is really welcome - on the descent from one of the towers over the smooth belly. I connect two of my prusiks and I am across. At Briceljka it is time for the first snack and scouting the continuation. At eleven I start descending towards the notch below Morežev stražar. I follow the description of Marjana and Marko and nicely find the passages even in the part where the ridge breaks. Below the stražar I cross to the right and steeply up, then in one of the airiest parts of the tour I climb to the notch and via the ledge on the Koritnica side I reach somewhat easier terrain. I also step onto the stražar summit, where I build a cairn. Ahead to Morež it goes nicely, and further to the other side the passages along and on the ridge open up by themselves. Soon I am at the "branch" for Votli vrh. I find the right passage and climb to the notch and then to the summit. The descent to the notch seemed to me the hardest part of the tour, as you climb quite concretely on the descent. Follows return to the ridge and continuation to Mali Bedinji vrh, from it straight ahead to Konjska škrbina and back towards the sky to Bedinji vrh. During the descent human voices surprise me and soon I spot a team ascending from the opposite direction. The continuation is somewhat easier, but still not easy, as the legs are already tired from all the ascents and descents. The last detail on the tour is the descent from Bavh, as the ridge is still quite sharp, but good passages are found here too. I reach Plešivec at three, satisfied and tired. The descent through Balo is really pleasant, especially lower in the forest the path is really nice. But avalanches have done damage here too. On the path fallen trees lie in several places, but no serious bushwhacking through branches is needed. I finish the tour after good eleven hours satisfied and with the great ridge in my pocket.
Technically, it seems to me one grade easier than the neighboring Pihavci, but physically very demanding, as the ridge is really long and the second half quite undulating, so a nice number of elevation gains accumulate. In any case, a beautiful traverse worth repeating.

Since "Italy" messed us upeek, note Predel pass is closed Mon-Sat 7pm-6am, apparently until 20.06.2022, gallery renovation, after sorting evening logistics we ended up in Bcu. Co-enjoyer quickly finds replacement and surprised big timemežikanje. Otherwise the plan seemed bold to me, I thought if he dares with me, then I'll go toojezik, hehe
Ooh, morning rising always harder, but somehow we get up, I still half asleep to Bavšica. Nice start, past Logje to still active scree, turn left to scree slope and steep slope that gains height all the way to Velika Rupa. Here we sit a bit first time, admire the ambience, from afar watched by rare regulars here. Continue searching best passages to ridge, bit more and we're at Vrh Krnice, yippee. First time at summit was fog and snow shower, today... endless viewsnasmeh. Followed snack, well I had no appetite, gaze of course slipped ahead to narrow and windy and traverse was "on"velik nasmeh... first narrow traverse then direct into rock where rope too, bit of ridge, then three towers, smooth abseil and past Oblica and Vrh Rup we're at Oltarji. For me bit nasty descent, mix wet grass soil rocks not exactly thrilling but three belays so easier. Then couple more heights up of course to Briceljka and first half of ridge doable for me got the tick. Phew joy joy over successful traverse. Appetite returnedvelik nasmeh, priceless snack with views and shy respectful glances at continuation maybe sometime?!...
Descent from Briceljka towards Bali no specials, path gets lost, cairns but still be careful it takes you own way quickvelik nasmeh. In grass even less visible esp now everything blooming bursting can't see where stepping walking tiring so dragged to hunters hut. Continuation on marked which doesn't skimp on greenery ended at morning start.
Fulfilled long desired, especially approach over Slapce wild nothing hinting at pathlet trail airy ridge sometimes narrow good rock fast pulse and enjoyment... really spots for the soul and surely soon again...nasmeh
